I am in the process to install a full authenticate service here using samba and openldap, my pdc and bdc are ldap based servers, and are in different locations, using a router to connect them, then. a full master ldap is needed in these two locations.
Not necessarily. Samba supports referrals, and has an 'ldap replication sleep' option. It has been possible to run geographically separated DCs with samba and still have domain joins work in a site with a BDC (well, a DC which talks to an LDAP slave) since about samba 2.2.5 with OpenLDAP 2.0.x.
There may be other reasons you think you need mirror mode or MMR, but this shouldn't be your only one.
